No ANR0504I message, or different message, when the file wasn't restored properly

The ANR0504I message is logged even when the
restore/retrieve fails.

For example:

Jul 10 23:19:21 lxtsm052 dsmserv-TSM52: ANR0406I Session 2601887
started for node AISDBP_ORA (TDPO Linux86-64) (Tcp/Ip dbsrvd217.cern.ch
(22144)). (SESSION: 2601887)
Jul 10 23:40:41 lxtsm052 dsmserv-TSM52: ANR1401W Mount request denied
for volume I50639 - mount failed. (SESSION: 2601887)
Jul 10 23:40:41 lxtsm052 dsmserv-TSM52: ANR0542W Retrieve or restore
failed for session 2601887 for node AISDBP_ORA (TDPO Linux86-64) -
storage media inaccessible. (SESSION: 2601887)
Jul 10 23:40:41 lxtsm052 dsmserv-TSM52: ANR0504I Session 2601887 for
node AISDBP_ORA restored or retrieved Backup object: node AISDBP_ORA,
filespace /db, object //AISDBP_20110708_o6mgtess_1_1_lvl0A, version 1
of 1. (SESSION: 2601887)
Jul 10 23:40:41 lxtsm052 dsmserv-TSM52: ANR0403I Session 2601887 ended
for node AISDBP_ORA (TDPO Linux86-64). (SESSION: 2601887)


Jul 10 23:17:56 lxtsm052 dsmserv-TSM52: ANR0406I Session 2601782
started for node AISDBP_ORA (TDPO Linux86-64) (Tcp/Ip dbsrvd217.cern.ch
(22134)). (SESSION: 2601782)
Jul 10 23:19:15 lxtsm052 dsmserv-TSM52: ANR1401W Mount request denied
for volume I52164 - mount failed. (SESSION: 2601782)
Jul 10 23:19:15 lxtsm052 dsmserv-TSM52: ANR0542W Retrieve or restore
failed for session 2601782 for node AISDBP_ORA (TDPO Linux86-64) -
storage media inaccessible. (SESSION: 2601782)
Jul 10 23:19:15 lxtsm052 dsmserv-TSM52: ANR0504I Session 2601782 for
node AISDBP_ORA restored or retrieved Backup object: node AISDBP_ORA,
filespace /db, object //AISDBP_20110708_ntmgtcf6_1_1_lvl0A, version 1
of 1. (SESSION: 2601782)
Jul 10 23:19:15 lxtsm052 dsmserv-TSM52: ANR0403I Session 2601782 ended
for node AISDBP_ORA (TDPO Linux86-64). (SESSION: 2601782)


This message is misleading; the file was not restored or retrieved, as the message states. It would be more correct to have another message for this case, such as:

ANR0505I Session 2601782 for
node AISDBP_ORA attempted to restore or retrieve Backup object: node AISDBP_ORA, filespace /db, object /AISDBP_20110708_ntmgtcf6_1_1_lvl0A, version 1 of 1.

    Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:

    Product family - Storage
    Product - Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) Family

    For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:

    Thank you for submitting this enhancement request, it will be considered for a future release of TSM and will probably be part of a reconsideration of multiple default behaviors in the TSM server.
